When one thinks of royalty, what often comes to mind are castles, tiaras and more than a fair amount of strict protocol! But these members of royalty, from Britain's Lady Amelia Windsor and Zara Tindall, to Sweden's Princess Sofia, these members of royalty are proving that tattoos and piercings also look right at home at the palace!

Lady Amelia Windsor

Prince Harry and Prince William's royal cousin Lady Amelia Windsor has been expressing herself though her body ink! At the Serpentine Gallery party on June 19, 2018, Lady Amelia's Chanel minidress showed off a discreet tattoo on her torso just under her arm, right. She also posted a photo to her Instagram in which it appears she has gotten some new art on her right arm, courtesy of Nye Inks.

Princess Sofia

The former reality TV star turned Swedish royal has a sunburst tattoo between her shoulder blades. The ink was clearly visible during her and Prince Carl Philip's wedding celebrations back in 2015.

Zara Tindall

It was quite a shock at the time when Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter pierced her tongue and wore a metal stud during her late teen years!

Princess Stephanie

The Monaco royal has a tattoo of two dolphins jumping out of the water on her left ankle. After the car crash that took her mother Grace Kelly's life, the Princess began to earn a reputation as a rebel royal. "I realized how lucky I was to have life," Stephanie later said. "I had my arms open to the future and I said to myself, 'This could be all over tomorrow.' Nobody has really tried to understand me or my behavior, which just reflected my decision to enjoy life to the full."

Aside from the dolphin ink on her ankle, Prince Albert's sister also has a sun bracelet tattoo on her right wrist.

While Grace Kelly's daughter has permanent markings on her hands and feet, the Monaco royal also has an "S" shaped tattoo made of vines on her back.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree for Princess Stephanie's daughter Pauline Ducruet. Princess Grace's granddaughter showed off her flower tattoo in 2014 with the hashtag #pasprévu, which translates to "unforseen." The Monaco royal also has a script inked on her left arm.
